A Text Book for TOD in the Indian Context:
Each TOD must have the following components:
1. Pedestrian & Cycle/ Cycle-Rickshaw Friendly Environment
2. Connectivity: Create dense networks of streets and paths for all modes.
3. Multi-modal Interchange: Mass transportation modes servicing the area should be well integrated to
afford rapid and comfortable modal transfers.
4. Modal Shift Measures: Shift to Sustainable Modes by Using Design, Technology, Road Use Regulation,
Mixed-Use, Parking Policy and Fiscal Measures
5. Placemaking and Safety: Urban places should be designed for enjoyment, relaxation and equity.
6. High Density, Mixed-Income Development: Compact Neighbourhoods for Shorter Commutes and
Equity for All Sections of Society.

Vision for a World Class Delhi, Jan2009Paromita Roy
What becoming a World Class City could mean for people of Delhi......
A world class Delhi is not about building bigger highways and flyovers, and continually "cleaning" the city's poor out of visibility of the rich.....
Being a World Class City could mean a win-win situation for all the inhabitants and decision makers of the city..... be it rich poor - young old - male female.... making it a truly democratic capital city.
